Hassan to attend reception at Exeter Town Hall

EXETER — New Hampshire Governor-elect Maggie Hassan will attend a reception in her honor at Exeter Town Hall this evening.

According to a member of Hassan’s campaign team, the Exeter Democrat will be on hand at a function organized by friends from 7-9 p.m. The event is open to the public, and refreshments will be served.

Hassan beat Republican Ovide Lamontagne in last Tuesday’s election. She is in the process of setting up a transition team for her administration. She met with Gov. John Lynch last week to discuss the process. Hassan said she was thrilled to have Lynch’s support and help.

Lynch is retiring after eight years in office.

On the national political landscape, New Hampshire’s election results have caught attention because the state will send the country’s first all-female delegation to Congress.

Hassan’s victory on Tuesday has also generated a stir because she will now become the sole female Democratic governor in the country.
